Alabama

If you are 60 or older, the state of Alabama offers free tuition program at 2 year post secondary institutions. You must meet admission requirements to be accepted into their programs. I have listed the participating colleges and their financial aid contacts below:

Central Alabama Community College - http://www.cacc.edu/
Financial Aid Director Alexander City (256) 215-4250 or 1-800-643-2657 ext. 4250
Financial Aid Director Childersburg (256) 378-2008 or 1-800-643-2657 ext.2009
*Admission requirements must be met prior to receiving a senior waiver form. A senior waiver form must be completed if applying for the senior scholarship. Class are for credit and are based upon seat availability. Courses cannot be repeated once taken. The deadline for applying for scholarships is March 1st.

I think Alabama could easily give more to seniors pursuing a college degree by providing two more years of tuition waiver. The purchase of books should be the responsibility of the person pursuing the degree. That is a good compromise between the needs of both parties.

I agree that Ala needs to do more. I would like to point out that ATHENS STATE UNIVSITY is not on the list. Athens is a 2yr SENIOR college (Junior and Senior years) that follows the above tuition discount. I know becasue I took advantage of it to get a BA. It applies to their online courses as well.

If our government takes serious step for improving woman education then we can easily make a good society because woman play very important role for developing a good nation. So we should to care this education. You should to buy essay and complete your writing work.
